Title: ●Experienced Miner and Supervisor Training
Abstract: MSHA proposed to amend the definition of "experienced miner" to mean a miner who has had one year of mining experience and, for new miners hired after October 13, 1978, has completed new miner training. MSHA proposed to strengthen the training requirements for experienced miners by adding course requirements. Also, MSHA proposed to delete the supervisory personnel exemption from the training requirements. The comments received by MSHA on its September 1991 proposed rule addressed such issues as the appropriate training for different types of mining, the need for training of contractors, training for construction workers, and other suggested training changes. MSHA reviewed these comments to determine the appropriateness of any further changes to the Agency's training regulations. Public hearings on the proposed rule were held in July 1992.
